The thread about the 1946 Lincoln reminded me of my "special" 1907-O Dime..Full PIC added at bottom!

Explain how this happened. I don't see any metal that has been moved around.

Will they assign a new variety? Very interesting .......
Nice example Dimeman.
I love "interesting" coins.
I see evidence of what could be a seam in both pictures where the extra metal might have been attached.

A post waiting for the reveal...
I suspect this will be informative.
I don't have a clue what this is. I showed it to Dr. Wiles and Fred W.. They both would not call it anything until another was found.
Two similar "hooks" on the same coin? That seems suspicious but curious.
The mystery deepens. Now we are aware and perhaps someone will find another.
Very interesting anomaly.... sure looks like 'extra' metal....like a shaving from planchet stamping....Just theorizing.... Cheers, RickO
Very cool! Can we see the whole obverse?

I will try to do that soon.

How about a picture of the full side

Here is a full pic of the obverse.
Can we see the reverse and edge too...LOL
@DIMEMAN I think @Insider2 would also like to see a picture of just part of the coin shot with a lousy white balance.
That's a really cool variety!

LOL, actually, that's not necessary as these posts are not True Views. This is not a photo contest either! When you've examined enough coins using different magnifications and light sources you won't be attached to/ OR NEED "artsy" images with correct colors to know what you are looking at.
Walking around a coin show and looking at coins is a lot different than the controlled environment in a grading room. Those folks who develop an "eye" under adverse conditions will be far ahead of other collectors.
The color on the OP coin is correct for how it looks using fluorescent light at 20X. A stereomicroscope coupled with fluorescent light is the ONLY correct way to authenticate a coin. We are extremely lucky that the professionals using a hand lens and incandescent light are so experienced using this method that few authentication errors occur. I don't think all the members here have reached their level.
